Are you unfamiliar with the principal that things which are appropriate for adults are often not appropriate for children?
I'm familiar with the sad fact that many people believe that. Knowledge should never be age restricted. If a kid doesn't want to learn about, for example, sex, and finds it gross, that's one thing. An entire society conspiring to keep them from knowing about it till they're about 11 is quite another.
Yes, that’s why I’m completely fine with my kids watching online videos of ISIS prisoners being burnt to death in a dog cage.
Can I ask if you have kids?
lol if you think you can stop that
That’s a strange comment. There’s obviously a difference between a 16 year old and a 4 year old (I have both). Are you saying because my 16 year old is curious and gets sent shit by her friends, I shouldn’t try to filter what my 4 year old doing?
once you no longer have eyes on them outside your home it is pretty much over
4 year old is fine, by 5 or 6 good luck unless you are home school helicopter parenting them
